I have just had my first 'glitch' on my PRS-T1 eReader, whilst reading a book I stroked the screen to turn a page and was met with a white page with two rotating ''half-circle arrows' and all functions dead.
After leaving the eReader for about ten-minutes to see if it would recover it became obvious that it had 'crashed' and a reset was needed. A fairly strong paper-clip comes in useful for activating the reset button in the bottom of the eReader.
On the restart I realised that all the books I had on the eReader had disappeared it had also lost its DRM activation and my default library settings had gone. The first task was to recover my books which I had backed-up on 'Reader for PC' and also 'Calibre'. Firstly I went through all the settings on the eReader to see if there was any further problems but the rest of the settings were fine.
I opened up 'Reader for PC' on my laptop connected the Sony data cable to both laptop and the eReader and let it synchronise which restored all my books, then checked the books but none would open just a DRM message appeared, remembered that when I had previously enabled DRM the activation box on the laptop was always hidden behind other windows, found it and re-enabled DRM.
All my free books and 'paid' for books would now open but the library books would not, I reset my library settings and connected to my library account and this action appeared to reactivate my library books which once again allowed me to open them.
One thing I have learnt from this experience is that if I download any books directly to my eReader they will immediately be backed-up to 'Reader for PC', I was lucky that all my downloads had been made to my laptop and therefore I was able to recover all my books.
